Pressure broadening
The presence of pertubing particles near an emitting atom will cause a broadening and possible shift of the emitted radiation.
There is two types impact and quasistatic
In each case you need the profile, represented by Cp as in C6 for Lennard-Jones potential
:
Assume Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for both cases.
=Impact broadening =

For impact, its always Lorentzian profile

For quasistatic, functional form of lineshape varies. Generally its a Levy skew alpha-stable distribution (Peach, page 408)

where K is of order unity. Its just an approximation.

where and are the static dipole polarizabilities of the i and j energy levels.
:
- Van der Waals p=6
:Broadening by Van der Waals forces gives a Van der Waals profile. C6 is the wing term in the Lennard-Jones potential.
